Yes... I can agree with you there. The last two installments did 
feel awfully similar to each other and I suspect FC5 will follow 
the same vein, although I distinctly remember reading an interview 
with one of Ubisofts creative officers (or something) who said FC5 
will have less focus on a linear narrative than before so I guess 
only time will tell.

My favourite game from the series, after Ubisoft took the conn, is 
still FC2, mostly because of its atmosphere and how it felt like a 
true open world game where it allowed you to play it out in almost 
any fashion, but judging from the comments around the net I'm probably 
in a small minority here.

Anyway, I'm so starved for a decent open world FPS SP game that I'll 
accept pretty much anything these days.
